The Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver is perfect for any pool or beach day

Maurice Lacroix unveils the new Pontos S Diver, a watch that’s not afraid of getting the water. Revisiting the first generation model of 2013, the Jura-based brand has created a divers’ watch incorporating numerous enhancements while still retaining the spirit of the inaugural model, especially its iconic design.

During the development phase, the Swiss marque turned to ML Crew member, Lidija Lijic, a world champion freediver who holds the record for staying underwater for 5 minutes and 43 seconds. Lidija inhabits a world of extremes, exploring the limits of human performance, which made her the ideal person to put the watch through its paces.

Great From The Start

In 2013, Maurice Lacroix released its first generation Pontos S Diver. However, a few years later, the Jura-based brand ceased producing the model in order to focus its attention on making the highly successful Aikon. Subsequently, the company received numerous requests for the divers’ watch to be reissued that incorporates many improvements while still retaining the spirit of the original model.

Familiar But New

Indeed, while this model is new, it subscribes to the same proven design language and perpetuates the brand’s fondness for urban-inspired styling. What’s more, consistent with other Maurice Lacroix creations, the new Pontos S Diver is expertly crafted in the company’s Swiss Manufacture and delivers high perceived value. Maurice Lacroix believes that some things should never change.

On top of that, the Swiss watch firm turned to ML Crew member and world champion freediver Lidija Lijic for her input when developing the latest Pontos S Diver. This versatile athlete regularly ventures into warm seas but also enjoys diving beneath the ice in the Himalayas.

Limited Edition

This latest Pontos S Diver is offered in a number of variants. Steel models come with a choice of black grained or white lacquered dial options. The bronze model, limited to just 500 pieces, is paired with a sumptuous blue grained dial. The aforementioned crown at 2 o’clock is enlivened with a colour-coordinating circlet, ensuring it remains visible when underwater.
